Words Fifty Spoken.

An exchange gives the following
sound advice;
GA city is very much like an in.
dividual. To be Furnishing it must
have energy and enterprise. The
people in the CITY should labor for
is prosperity. They should re-
member that their individual pros.
perity depends to large degree
upon the character OF the place in
which their business is located-
Every public measure should he
literally supported by all, especi-
ally the business men. At the pres.
ent day there is as much compete
ton between cities as there is
among persons. of similar business
enterprises. A man seeking a To-
cation will invariably select CITY
that is up to the times and eagerly
in favor of modern times, and in
face Of so much opposition, it can't
afford to be peopled with old fogie.
or antediluvian fossils who are con
tinually kicking at every enter
prise. To make a Aourishing and
business city you must believe in
its future and then work for it.

Broom Corn.

A farmer at Naysville, 5. c.,
asks the Southern Cutipator the
following questions and received
the following answers relative to
the questions:
/. The kind of lind; how to ma
nure, when to plant, and how to
cultivate ?
2. How to prepare for market ?
and where is there good market
3 How much seed to plant ON
an acre?
ANSWER. /. Good corn land,
plant and cultivate like sorghum,
leaving one stalk in hills a foot
apart; any manule good for corn
will answer.
2. AS soon as the plant is in full
bloom cut the heads off. leaving
about six inches Of stalk attached,
and cure in shade, on racks, hav.
ing the layers not over three or
four inches thick. Lay the heads
smooth and straight on the racks,
and if the weather is not favorable
open and replace the layers from
time to time to facilitate the cur
ing. After it is cured, put up in
small bales like hay, having care
thai the brush does not become tan.
gled. Broom factories are spring.
ing up all over the country and
opening markets for the brush.
3. About a half bushel of seed
will be required to plant an acre.
1t is better to use an abundance,
because the seed do not always ger.
inmate well.
